Nationwide
mobility rental company proud to support our special community.
March 3, 2006 - Las Vegas, NV -- Individuals who require
the use of a mobility scooter for everyday life will
soon have an opportunity to receive a scooter at no
cost through the Clarence
Vincent Foundation (CVF). Named after the
father of Scootaround's CEO, Lee Meagher, the foundation
donates mobility scooters to qualified applicants who
apply through one of the foundation's partnering organizations.
"We
are very proud to carry on my father's legacy and to
serve the disabled community in such a tangible way",
says Meagher. "Scootaround was founded as a result
of my father's needs and it's only fitting that we provide
this life-enhancing service through a foundation that
bears his name."
A
select number of organizations have partnered with the
CVF for the initial foundation launch with more to be
added during the year. Current partners include The
Multiple Sclerosis Foundation, National Stroke Association,
The Society for Accessible Travel and Hospitality (SATH)
and The United Spinal Association. Partners are responsible
for receiving and processing applications for their
respective memberships.
Further
information about the Clarence Vincent Foundation can
